Electrospun Filters for Organic Pollutants Removal

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Filtering Media by Electrospinning

Abstract

Increasing demand for access to clean and safe water around the globe emphasizes the development of new technologies for removing environmental pollutants. Especially, organic pollutants including dyes, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), pesticides, herbicides, and antibiotics prominently affect environmental health due to their hazardous nature. In the past several decades, advancements in electrospun fibrous membranes have resulted as an efficient filtering platform for removal of various pollutants in water, air, and soil. Electrospun nanofibers are efficient filters complementing their unique feature of accommodating a variety of functional molecules. The choice of material and the effect of experimental condition including pH, contact time, and adsorbent dosage on pollutant removal efficiency have been extensively reviewed previously. Our chapter focuses on recent progress in the developments of the electrospun functional nanofibrous composite membrane for various organic pollutants removal.
